The IP Uplift

Quantify the Power of your Partnerships

We recognise the importance of fully evaluating whether a partnership has performed as it should do.

We have created the IP Uplift

The IP Uplift is a research methodology used to calculate the uplift a brand can achieve through the marketing and sales funnel using the partner’s IP. Output of this analysis will show the uplifts that are achieved by using the partner IP across the four key brand metrics.

Attention

(e.g. Noticeability, enjoyable, engaging)
Quantifies the impact the property has on a brands ability to capture a consumers attention and engage them.

Connection

(e.g. Likeability, relevance, convincing, supports my community)
Quantifies the impact the property has on relating with a consumer in a meaningful way.

Brand Perception

(e.g. Differentiation, trust, modern, quality, worth more, cool factor, momentum)
Quantifies the impact the property has on shifting brand perceptions.

Conviction

(e.g. Intent to purchase, loyalty, advocacy)
Quantifies the impact the partner has on a consumers likelihood to purchase a specific product.

“We engaged The Value Xchange to assess the value of our assets and programmes, including our flagship Olivier Awards partnership. Their meticulous valuation and clear benchmarking against competitors equipped us to negotiate from a much stronger position. The outcome has been a substantial uplift in our partnership revenue. David and the team were professional, diligent and highly effective throughout the process and a pleasure to work with.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Sponsorship can be from as little as £10-20k all the way up to multi-millions. Drivers of cost are audience reach and desirability. Also, budget will need to be set aside for activating the sponsorship in order to help to maximise the value.

High-performing partnerships have shared objectives, strong activation, and consistent communication. When both sides stay aligned and invest properly, the partnership is more likely to perform.

While one-off deals can work, most meaningful partnerships run for 2–3 years or more. Time helps build deeper awareness, trust, and measurable results.

The simple answer is yes. Targeted sponsorships often deliver stronger cut-through for local or regional brands because they speak directly to a loyal, highly relevant audience.

Ideally 6-12 months out. Great sponsorships take time to plan, budget, activate, and measure properly.
